Can to tulip.
Appearance: nice looking murky orange/yellow chill haze color with a subtle tint of clarity to it with a finger and a quarter's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some sly messy lace
Aroma: orange juicy to tangerine-like and grapefruity with subtle piney needle-ish scent; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality with a lean underlying bitter rind to piney middle; finishes piney and orangey with a sweet dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; slight smoothness along the tongue; carb seemed a wee bit higher than expected but still somewhat between medium to low? Yeah, I think so.
Overall: pretty good NEIPA possibly could be construed as an AIPA depending on who you talk to.

Poured from a can dated 12/19/25 into a willi becher pint glass.

Pours semi hazy golden color, a little more than two fingers of of pillowy white head that really lingers leaving sticky rings of lacing with every drink.

Aroma is dominated by tangerine and grapefruit with a hint of biscuity malt, pine and some underlying earthiness

Lots of citrus in the taste, tangerine and grapefruit again with citrus peel adding some bitterness to the mix.

It's a light to medium light body, it's dry with a balanced bitterness making it super drinkable. Carbonation gives a slight tingle working well with the dryness and bitterness to make it super easy drinking at 6.9% abv.

Overall this reminds me of what have become the originators of neipa's, Cascade and citra working together to deliver a well balanced and well crafted drinking experience.
